If we are going to look back at history, we will find marvelous things that man had created and his marvelous records of achievements that brought fascinating changes in our lifestyles and beliefs and even more to our moral values.
In this stage we are in, we are prone to produce large quantities but the cost of quality suffers. The law of great demands and supplies greatly increase as we try to produce products in multiple order at a lower cost. The result is that we fail to recognize the durability of the product to make sure that the demands are high. Goods are not made to last long so that there would be a large supply of them. Quality therefore, gave way to quantity. This results that the consumers or the buying public becomes a part of a throw-away, disposable society in which we lose the value of certain items because they are affordable anyway.
The issue of compartmentalizing work spells progress in terms of having skilled workers in a specific area.This means that no single worker works on one item from start to finish. While it is a fact that we speed the process and the workers become quite efficient in a particular area of work, they become too mechanical that a lot of them finds no satisfaction and wants to pursue something else. This results from jumping from one job to another.
This also applies in a loving relationship. We jump from one relationship to another without even trying to work things out because we believe that there are many fishes in the ocean. We do not give much value to long lasting relationship anymore because we also believe that it ain't worth our time...

I agree, it's unfortunate that nowadays many people favor quantity over quality. You are right that this also applies somehow when it comes to a relationship, I personally prefer quality over quantity, that's why I definitely prefer a wife to a girlfriend. It may sound weird, since before you actually have a woman as your wife, she needs to be your girlfriend first, but what I mean is nowadays many men just enjoy having a lot of girlfriends rather than focusing on establishing a solid relationship with a woman which potentially can become their partner in life. I have an uncle who had his first girlfriend when he was 28 and eventually married her and now they have kids and live happily. On the other hand, there are some people who had numerous gfs/bfs but are still unmarried or single up to now.

You observe keenly. That is very true. I do not understand why some men do that kind of thing like collecting women as their trophies.

I always choose quality over quantity when it comes to products.
Like for example Lander Lotion, of which a 400 ML only costs less than 100 pesos over a Nivea Lotion of same quantity but costs more than 200 pesos. I will choose the latter because you can feel the good effect on your skin.

We should always favor quality over quantity. And in all aspect this would always produce something much better.

Hi,
You are right. We should give importance to quality than quantity. We have many friends in our life. But there are very few who are true friends. the relationships are very important in our life. Healthy relationships are very important.

I also go for quality over quantity. Funny how so many people out there brag of the "many-ness" of the things they have acquired, purchased or possessed when the hurting truth is that these many things in their possession don't last. There are a lot of garbage on earth already. If we could use something for a lifetime, why not...like girlfriends or boyfriends, who eventually should become our wives or husbands...that's for life. :)
